\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Baseball fans have waited patiently for this day since the Royals drafted him second-overall in 2007.\u00a0 But after Eric Hosmer received the call ahead of his fellow future cornerstone, it became obvious that Moose would be loose at Kauffman within a matter of months.\u00a0 As a baseball fan and prospect junkie, this is an awesome day.\u00a0 It’s a day that’s been at the forefront of every Royals discussion and signifies that the future has officially arrived in Kansas City.<\/p>\n

So, in honor of Moose’s arrival, here are a couple videos of the slugger that will hopefully hold people over until 9:05 PM cst, when he makes his MLB Debut against Ervin Santana and the Los Angeles Angels.\u00a0 The first video is courtesy of FarmSystem<\/a>, and features Moustakas taking batting practice prior to the 2009 California League All-Star Game:
